Ideal gasReal gas
$(1)$ It satisfies $PV = \mu RT$ for all temperatures and pressures.$(1)$ It does not satisfy $PV = \mu RT$ for all temperatures and pressures.
$(2)$ The volume of molecules of an ideal gas is considered zero.$(2)$ The volume of molecules of real gases is not zero.
$(3)$ In an ideal gas, no intermolecular forces act between molecules.$(3)$ Depending on the distance between molecules, attractive or repulsive forces act between them.
$(4)$ Interatomic force is zero, hence potential energy is zero.$(4)$ Interatomic force is not zero, hence potential energy is not zero.
$(5)$ Possesses only kinetic energy.$(5)$ Possesses both kinetic energy and potential energy.
$(6)$ At absolute zero, the volume, pressure, and internal energy of an ideal gas become zero.$(6)$ All real gases liquefy before reaching absolute zero, and the internal energy in the liquid state is not zero.

$A$ molecule is travelling in air at $300 \, K$ and $1 \, atm$, and the radius of the molecule is $0.6 \times 10^{-10} \, m$. Calculate the approximate mean free path of the molecule. (The number density is $2.44 \times 10^{25} \, \text{molecules}/m^3$)

$A$ fixed amount of nitrogen gas ($1$ mole) is taken and subjected to pressure and temperature variations. The experiment is performed at high pressures and various temperatures. The results obtained are shown in the figure. The correct variation of $PV/RT$ with $P$ for nitrogen gas at high temperatures will be exhibited by:

If the molecular radius of hydrogen gas is $0.5 \ \mathring A$,then the mean free path of hydrogen gas molecules at $0 \ ^\circ C$ temperature and $1 \ atm$ pressure is ........ $\mathring A$. (Given $k_B = 1.38 \times 10^{-23} \ J \ K^{-1}$)
